7.Connect the wires to the terminal assembly and place the speaker on the pole-mount bracket. Repeat this process with speaker A. Return to the installation procedures and continue.

IMPORTANT: Make sure all equipment is turned off before making

any connections. For speaker connections, use a high-quality speaker wire with polarity coding. The side of the wire with a ridge or other coding is usually considered positive polarity (i.e., +).

NOTE: If desired, consult your local JBL dealer about speaker wire and connection options.

The speakers have coded terminals that accept a variety of wire connectors. The most common connection is shown in the diagram to the left. To ensure proper polarity, connect each + terminal on the back of the amplifier or receiver to the respective + (red) terminal on each speaker, as shown. Connect the

–(black) terminals in a similar way. See the owner’s guides that were included with your amplifier, receiver and television to confirm connection procedures.

2. Connect the wires to the terminal assembly of each speaker, as shown,

and place the speaker on the mounting bracket, as shown in step 6 of the

mounting-bracket-installation procedures. Return to the installation

IMPORTANT: Do not reverse polarities (i.e., + to – or – to +) when making connections. Doing so will cause poor imaging and diminished bass response.
